Did the 2022 Ford Escape have significant recalls in Canada related to its transmission?
Yes. Transport Canada issued a recall covering certain 2022 Escapes equipped with the 8-speed SelectShift automatic transmission, due to a risk of loss of power transmission during frequent mode changes between drive modes. Ford deployed a transmission control module (TCM) software update resolving this behavior. Before purchasing a used 2022 Escape, verify the VIN on the Transport Canada portal to confirm this campaign was completed. The 1.5L EcoBoost three-cylinder introduced in this generation also had a service advisory regarding thermal management in extreme heat conditions — not critical, but worth confirming at the dealership.
